Chris Mason ce9adaa5a7 Btrfs: Do metadata checksums for reads via a workqueue
Before, metadata checksumming was done by the callers of read_tree_block,
which would set EXTENT_CSUM bits in the extent tree to show that a given
range of pages was already checksummed and didn't need to be verified
again.

But, those bits could go away via try_to_releasepage, and the end
result was bogus checksum failures on pages that never left the cache.

The new code validates checksums when the page is read.  It is a little
tricky because metadata blocks can span pages and a single read may
end up going via multiple bios.
